The Vault 2nd edition

From award-winning novelist Huw Thomas, a story of hidden secrets, childhood drama and murder? THE VAULT Adam Strong has two main problems in life: how to keep the gang from the local council estate out of the woods where he has his den and how to get the new girl at school to notice that he exists. But the ancient woods next to Compton Fosse contain more dangers than just the risk of a beating from the town?s teenage psycho. Hidden in Hobthrush Wood is the key to a mystery that weaves four disparate stories into a single web. * The mansion: A gang of professional robbers mount a night raid on the secluded country home of a reclusive billionaire. * The dead: Three decaying bodies, wrapped in plastic and chains, are found lying at the bottom of an ornamental lake. * The convict: A sex offender is released from prison but breaks his parole and goes on the run after giving into temptation once again. * The friends: Two boys stumble across an eerie secret?
